Oh my god.. This Mod is.. KILLER
v
Patrolling to the west of Ireland in 42', I think I ran into Force H.. Strong DD presence (8-10) one Ark Royal Carrier, one Queen Elizabeth Battleship and one Sheffield class Cruiser.
Headding SSE at 17knts and I'm to their SSW. So I go to the surface, and prepare an ambush 50km up their expected track. So, when the force is in sight (good visibility, choppy seas, 1:36 PM). Now I go to 100M, and track (well.. cheat external cam
)
So I aim to be in between the Arc Royal and the Queen Elizabeth. now, I end up in position, but the minute I poke the scope up all hell breaks loose. Everyone immediately becomes aware of my presence and I have so many active sonars bouncing off my hull its incessant. Take a snapshot at the Battleship (had been making a firing solution via hydrophone.. but had trouble because the TDC was acting up..) and then turned to shoot at the carrier when I saw the Cruiser bearing down on me!
Now I said screw it and dove to 150M. Once past 90M I heard three consecutive blasts and thought, great I killed the battleship. Well.. the tin cans didnt like that.. I played cat and mouse and could clearly see the Carrier slipping away while they pinned me down.. So I ket inching my escapes towards that direction. That lasted a total of 15 minutes where the DDs forced me down to 175M.
Going to see how pissed off the DDs were I went to external cam. Suddenly three explosions rocked the HK group. Three seperate Frigates had DC'd themselves to death where they dropped and then stopped and took the full blast up the rear.. (I think the problem is is that they dropped and then reverted to HK Commander or "Overwatch"?) Now looking directly over my sub, I could see the cruiser making constant (precision) runs over my position.. well thank god he didnt have Depth Charges because for everypass a frigate/destroyer made, he made three. I don't really know if this is a bug or not, but just wanted to point it out.
Now I don't know what got me, but being forced down to 220M was not a good thing. Maybe it was the Depth Charge.. maybe it was a Hedgehog.. maybe it was even my good old Hamburg hull letting go because of the pressure.. but damn straight will be my answer if you ask me if that is the first time I crapped my pants in SH5
Kudos to you TDW! Now if you'll excuse me I need to go change my pants..
